If you are a Arby's customer and not satisfied with their food, suggest
you all write Arby's at their corporate HQ to ask them to improve the
quality of their sandwiches, namely the Roast beef sandwich. It is
pathetic that they sell such low quality food and are still in
business. I love Roast beef sandwiches and the other big fast food
franchises do not carry them.

I used to go to Lake George, NY. in the early sixties, where I came
upon
this excellent roast beef sandwich at a restaurant called Neba. The
restaurant was located on the way to the beach. They were also in New
York City and in the state of Mass to my knowledge.

It was the most delicious roast beef sandwich I ever tasted., a roast
beef sandwich which melted in your mouth and was so tasty, you could
not stop with one one sandwich. I think there was a little melted
butter on it. It was served on a sesame roll and the beef was freshly
made and cut on the spot. It needed no sauces to add to the flavor. The
restaurant was only around for a short time in the sixties. Does anyone
remember ???..www.nebaroastbeef.com

They probably could not compete in price and volume with the fast food
franchises that evolved soon afterward. Probably they also needed an
extended menu, as they could not survive with one item today.

I always preferred a roast beef sandwich made by Neba, to what is out
there today, as I am not into hamburgers.

Arby has a pale imitation of a roast beef sandwich which is tasteless
and needs sauces to make it edible..

A joke going around says that "Neba" meant "never buy at Arby's."

The Neba restaurants were not on the scale of today's fast food places.
They were small and I doubt they could have quick production for large
crowds and maintain the quality. There were a few imitators after, but
the flavor was not the same. They all eventually died out, except for
Arby's, which sends out coupons to encourage people to frequent their
restaurants as their food is so low in quality. They practically have
to give it away to encourage people to go to their restaurants. Their
french fried was always cold.

I have no "beef" with Arby's. I wonder if they still put beef in their
sandwiches,.
but in my opinion, their roast beef sandwich is inedible, unless you
add the sauces. My wife also ordered a BLT from Arby's and it was also
not as good as other restaurants. She would not order it again there.

I still go there the odd time when they send out those "free" coupons,
as it is close by my residence..

If Arby's want to lure people away from hamburgers, they should make a
effort improve the quality and flavor of their roast beef sandwich and
other items on their menu.

Anyone reasonably knowledgeable about what they are eating can look at
an Arby's roast beef sandwich "in person" or even a picture of it and
know they are looking at chopped, compressed, re-formed beef of some
kind. I've never even been tempted to try one. It's "buyer beware,"
for sure, and you should have known better ;-).

For sure, basically its a big "beef" hot dog/bologna style thing that is
probably available for the everyday low price of $0.99/lb at Walmart.

It's worse than that. The roast "beef" is actually a bag of an aqueous,
gel-like slurry of beef paste that firms up into a sliceable mass when
"roasted".

The way you make your point is to not be their customer. Arbys hasn't
had a real roast beef sandwich in like 20 years. They use a uniform
"space beef" product and not roast beef. Even their horseradish sauce is
now called "horsey sauce" because it is a "space product".

Unfortunately mediocre industrial food has become way too common. People
ask for this when they choose to patronize the industrial places.

There are still lots of little shops that use real roast beef.

it's called horsey sauce because it's not horseradish, nor space food.
It's a cream horseradish. It's made with horseradish, like any other
cream horseradish sauce.

OK...let me get this straight:

1) They can sell them really cheap, and you wonder why they taste cheap.

2) You think you can change a company whose survival depends on competing
with McDonald's.

3) You don't see that your best move is to stop eating there if you don't
like it.

Is this about right?

Last time I had an Arby's rb sandwich was a good 20 years ago.

It was like biting into a bun covered salt cake.

Never again!

Guilty pleasure -- I love the sauce bar at Arby's. I load my tray
with wee little paper cups of horsey sauce, honey mustard, catsup,
Arby's sauce, and spicy sauce. I get chicken fingers and fries and I
dip and munch away. Horsey sauce is my favorite. I don't even like
Arby's sauce, but I have to have a bit of it to make the experience
complete. I'll get a jamocha shake for dessert if I am feeling
really decadent.
